Access ATF fill on 960 900 1997

Hi all - Couple questions...

1) Can I use plain old vinyl tubing to construct a "funnel" to reach the AFT fill tube on the 960? I can't find a real funnel with a long enough spigot. I wasn't sure if any of the components of the fluid would eat the vinyl.

2) Finally got to the flame trap. No chance for cleaning. The whole unit was fused together (nipple, trap, bushing) so I just replaced it altogether (about $9 in parts that I got from a local indy). I broke the old one apart and it was a real mess. During the replacement process, I found that there was no suction coming from the small (5mm) vacuum hose that attached to the flame trap nipple. It was totally clogged, so I replaced that too, but it made me wonder: What is the function of that draw, and what are the repercussions of it not working in quite a while?

Thanks
